There is a Johann Nutter listed as the lieutenant of General Washington's body guard but no confirmation this is him.

The fact that Washington's body-guard was made up exclusively of Germans from Berks and Lancaster Counties, Pa., furnishes the best proof of their entire trustworthiness and reliability. 150 strong, they were commanded by Major Bartholomaeus von Heer, a former Prussian officer. Jacob Meytinger served as colonel, and Philipp Struebing and Johann Nutter as lieutenants. This body-guard accompanied Washington throughout all the seven years of the war, guarding him faithfully.

Ritchie County Marriage records shows a marriage of John Nutter to Mary Boys on April 30, 1845. Jeanne Forney's "Nutters of Nutters Fort shows all the children shown herein as not born to Mary Boyce (except for Mary) but instead children of Sally Rebecca White. Other sources show 1829 as the marriage date indicating uncertainty if John L. Nutter married to Mary Boyce is the same as John Nutter married to Mary Boys as shown in the Ritchie Records. Ritchie County was formed in 1843 and some question the accuracy of the early records.
